Escaping Anchorage Spring Wildlife Tour
Overview
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Alaska's stunning landscapes on a tour from Anchorage to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center!
Well… sort of. See, this is typically the worst 6 weeks in Anchorage, called "breakup season". Everything is melting and dirty, the temperature can't make up its mind and there is a lot of unpredictability. We figured if you've found yourself in "The Last Frontier" during these weeks you deserved a chance to get out of Anchorage.
We'll keep you as clean as possible as we drive around the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and introduce you to our favorite furry friends, making sure to save time for all the muculent photo ops. On our way back to Anchorage we'll stop in Girdwood for folks to grab snacks, souvenirs, and more as this fun, forest town decides it's just not that into Winter anymore.
This tour will probably be the highlight of your trip since someone lied to you about April being a great time to come to Alaska, but we won't make any promises.
